I always found the edges hard to hit so I am using ALT + holding the right 
mouse button for resizing.
That works basically anywhere between the center of a window and the 
edge/corner I want to move.

Are you unable to do that or is the mouse indicator absent or hardly visible 
indicating that you can resize the window?
I had the latter problem and re-applying the theme/cursor-theme seemed to have 
fixed that.
OTOH I also have various packages from unstable/experimental which may also 
have had an effect on it working again.

I know I can still resize windows. However I can't do it directly now. 
Instead I have to choose to resize them before I can, rather than just 
resizing them directly.


Interestingly Icedove still contains an area in the bottom right which I 
can drag to resize a window but Iceweasel (and most other applications) 
doesn't.

The mouse indicator is there but it doesn't work on most windows. I can 
still resize Icedove windows but have to jump through hoops to resize 
most windows (the alt+right-button trick or selecting resize from the 
top bar | more actions menu).


According to some of the replies, this is "feature" and not a bug. :(
